I never leave mauve umber out of my travel kit. Great to mix with ultramarine or black to get those shadows. Try it.
The color is super rich! It can easily cover all tonal values while maintaining a unique color.
I love this paint. Buttery without being oily. Love the color.
Mauve umber is one of my new favorite paints for doing shadows now; it’s the perfect subtle purple and it tints beautifully. Gapka paints definitely use a bit more linseed oil than I’m used to, but it makes the paints so wonderful to work with and paint mixing is a lot easier. Especially with a lower price point (I’ve used mostly Williamsburg in the past, for reference), I would say these are definitely worth the buy. I was so pleasantly surprised to not see really any separation straight from the tube as well!
